Do games (or any software) ever go into public domain? Feels like something on the order of 25 years could be reasonable for NES.

- detaro 8y agoSame as other copyrighted works: in the US 95 years after publication (or 120 years after creation if shorter), when it is work for hire without clear authors attached, otherwise 70 years after the death of the last author. So expect copyright on NES games to expire late in the 21th century or early 22th.
